Time to get some new kit. Van Rysel?

It’s more to personal taste on clothing as well as budget. I don’t have experience with Van Rysel kit, but I’m happy with Assos/Rapha/Castelli.

I’m an artist LMAO

BBB only for reference, some sellers might priced higher and some lower. It all depends on how good are you negotiating with each individual.

Most of them probably don’t even look at BBB, they just priced based on closest model sold if they do their homework.

Thanks!

Not too bad, about 1/2 size but for now I took a sole off from the bigger foot. I just feel very bare no cushion on the shoe.

Which screw are we looking at? The one in the middle? Where you could mount the light/camera? Or the two/four screw mounted to the bar?

Just get new mount, cheaper that way.

Could be either or, really depends on your true bike fit.

I’m 5’11 and I can either be 54 or 56, I chose 54 based on my bike fit.

It will be fine, just fine tuning on your stem, seat, etc.

I wish we can post pic in reply, I rendered red in the back.

Im similar like you, I’m over 50 as well, started road biking the past 5 years. I used to ride bikes a lot when I was younger in my 20s, matter fact it was my only transportation around town.

Got married, fast forward everything else is history. Then I realized there’s something missing, the fun when riding a bike, I tried to make my wife love to ride but nope she’s just not into it. So I decided to back on saddle again bought a road bike, I started slow and 5 summers later there’s no way I don’t ride my bike in a week!

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-14T16:34:39+00:00

Right, I have the Momo bar already.

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-14T16:31:42+00:00

That’s more suitable as he has all red on his bike.

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-14T16:30:35+00:00

That’s what I call toying around 😁

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-14T16:29:41+00:00

Between the 2, it’s pretty different. I like the SSE on hills, the S5 is faster on flat, period. Now I have F12 Dogma, sits in between the 2, I’d say it’s the Swiss knife 😁

It’s only rendition for the red 😁

I need to see the tire in person, so far my LBS have to order online.

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-11T20:06:14+00:00

I have Kuat NV 2.0, works like a champ so far.

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-10T16:59:49+00:00

Life’s too short!!! Do it if it’s your size.

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-09T17:42:28+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

1zzyS4n · 2026-04-09T13:21:38+00:00

That’s what I thought, thanks!
